House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee

109th Congress (2006 cycle)

House Transportation Committee members have jurisdiction over America's roads, highways, bridges, dams, skies, and railroads which exist in every district in the country. It comes as little surprise that some of the chief supporters of these lawmakers' campaign war chests are airlines, truckers, railroads, construction companies and all their unionized workers.
